Time
Imagine there is a bank which credits your account
each morning with $86,400, carries over no balance
from day to day, allows you to keep no cash balance,
and every evening cancels whatever part of the amount
you had failed to use during the day.
What would you do?
Draw out every cent, of course!
Everyone has such a bank. Its name is TIME.
Every morning, it credits you with 86,400 seconds.
Every night, it writes off, as lost, whatever of this
you have failed to invest to good purpose.
It carries over no balance. It allows no overdraft.
Each day, it opens a new account for you.
Each night, it burns the records of the day.
If you fail to use the day's deposits, the loss is
yours. There is no going back. There is no drawing
against the "tomorrow".
You must live in the present on today's deposits.
Invest it so as to get from it the utmost in health,
happiness and success!
The clock is running. Make the most of today..
To realize the value of ONE YEAR, ask a student who
has failed his exam...
To realize the value of ONE MONTH, ask a mother who
has given birth to a pre-mature baby.
To realize the value of ONE WEEK, ask an editor of a
weekly newspaper.
To realize the value of ONE DAY, ask a daily wage
laborer who has ten kids to feed.
To realize the value of ONE HOUR, ask the lovers who
are waiting to meet.
To realize the value of ONE MINUTE, ask a person who
has missed the train.
To realize the value of ONE SECOND, ask a person who
has survived an accident.
To realize the value of ONE MILLI-SECOND, ask the
person who has won a silver medal in Olympics.
Treasure every moment that you have!
And treasure it more because you have shared it with
someone special...special enough to have your time.
Remember, time waits for no one...
